1 Multi-Agency Safeguarding Competency Framework Page 1
2 Introduction This competency framework has been developed in consultation with safeguarding representatives and is approved by Wirral s Safeguarding Adults Partnership Board (SAPB) and Wirral Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB). It relates to each organisation s workforce development strategy and training plan, specifically addressing safeguarding people of all ages (children and young people and adults.) Partner agencies in all sectors are represented on the Boards. Further information on the Boards, including membership, can be found here: A competence is a combination of skills, knowledge and experience held by individual staff. This framework aims to ensure that these qualities inform their practice in a way that is commensurate with the individual s and responsibilities. This competency framework is aligned with nationally recognised competencies. It is based on the Bournemouth University National Framework for Safeguarding Adults, published in May 2012, and the Children s Competency Framework, published in June It is also linked to the statutory Health Service Competency Framework Safeguarding Children and Young people: s and competences for health care staff Intercollegiate document September Levels will be cross referenced to assist Health staff identify the appropriate health competency level within this framework. The framework provides a baseline for standards of competence that individuals can expect from those individuals and organisations across a range of sectors that have a responsibility to ensure that the children, young people and adults they work with are sufficiently safeguarded. It also assists in the development of training packages and provides a framework for performance management. Page 2
3 Who should complete Wirral s Safeguarding Children, Young People and Adults Competency Framework? All employees (paid staff and unpaid volunteers) with a responsibility for safeguarding, as identified in the framework, should be assessed against the competencies that are relevant to their occupational. Whatever their, all employees should know when and how to report any concern about the abuse of an adult, child or young person. Therefore all need to be competent in the first five competencies as described in the framework. Beyond this it will depend on their occupational and level of responsibilities. The framework seeks to support a proportionate response to suspected abuse from all those who work with adults, children and young people. How to use Wirral s Safeguarding Children, Young People and Adults Competency Framework. Identifying Staff groups A table has been produced which details the different staff groups covered in the competency framework and some examples of the job s covered within each staff group. All staff should be assessed against these competencies relevant to their job and responsibilities. Whatever their, all staff should know when and how to report any concern about abuse for an adult, child or young person at risk. Therefore all staff must be competent in the first five competencies as described in the framework. Using the staff group tool, map all staff members and volunteers against the relevant staff groups (A, B, C, D) (levels 2-5 have been identified in line with the health competency framework. Level 2 is equivalent to Group A for Adults within Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust). It should be noted that the examples given in this tool are not exhaustive and organisations should use their own knowledge of individual s in relation to organisational policies and procedures to ensure that all employees receive training which is proportionate and appropriate to their. Mapping against competencies The competency framework has been designed to support organisations to ensure that all members of staff are trained to the required level and competencies. It identifies the relevant staff groups and the competencies they require. These staff groups and volunteers within your organisation can then be mapped against the relevant competencies. Assessing Competencies The assessment of competence should combine a mix of direct observation and practice, as well as a process of exploration, discussion and questioning in Page 3
4 supervision. Assessment should also reflect a knowledge and understanding of local multi-agency policy and procedures for safeguarding children, young people and adults.
